You can refute all you want. I'm talking about real conversations I've had with real people. It looks like some Americans are hateful towards "hateful" Americans and it puts people on the defensive and pushes them away.
EDIT:
> you don't speak for the American people
Right. That's not the message that people are getting. There are lines being drawn and many decent people feel like they're being hated along with neo-nazis. That sort of visceral feeling is hard to shake off when you want to later appeal to their sense of decency when health insurance rules are being reconsidered.
